the pairing that was obama and clinton, what do you think of the pairing that will be obama and kerry? >> it's an impressive team. both know a lot about foreign policy. the choice of europe and the mideast are important for symbolic reasons. some europeans felt that the obama administration paid too much attention to asia. this trip signals that nato is an enduring partnership for us and going to the mideast, you have so many crisis that they need to deal with from syria to iran to continued troubles in egypt and iraq. it makes sense to start here. i think that what the world is looking for for the united states is leadership. they are looking for an outward-leaning america, not trying to drawback into our borders as the far right or even the far left would have us do. secretary kerry you have a convincing and convinced international which is a great strength. >> based on that, the pivot to asia is in the confirmation hearings and he said i'm not convinced that a ramp up in the asia-pacific area is critical yet. that is something i want to look at very carefully. when you hear that an

kerry's job i think will be to serve obama's legacy, and he is going to have to work within an obama system that four years in is fairly well defined. the big issues are run out of the white house. they're run by a small group of people around the president, but it will be interesting to see how kerry changes the mix a bit. for example, you were just talking about hillary clinton and women's issues. kerry has been a leader on climate issues. will he be able to tip the scales a little bit in that direction and actually build on what the president said in his inaugural address about making climate a priority? >> kerry has said he wants to focus on the middle east, and that has been a deficit in terms of the israeli-palestinian track. certainly, i mean, the arab spring made it much more difficult, much more complicated, but some would argue made it more necessary. >> well, yeah. the middle east is also one of the drains that can suck all the oxygen out of the room. you know, you could get involved in it and get sucked down all these different kind of rabbit holes that exist in the middl

the photos of baby obama got just under 70,000 views. the photos of baby romney just over 6,000 views. that is worse than 10 to 1. okay, maybe it's a baby thing. how about if we age them a little. barack obama, i have to say, was not the world's most handsome teenager. those were kind of his awkward years, whereas mitt romney was quite possibly the world's best teenager. they both ended up as very handsome adult men, but they went through their awkward periods, their gawky periods at different ages. but even with that, again, the young man photos of barack obama get roughly 70,000 views. the comparable votes of young man mitt romney get less than 1/5 that number. this is not a republican versus democrat thing or a conservative versus liberal thing either. at the height of her powers, put sarah palin's click per headline stats up against any democrat you can imagine or any combination of democrats you can imagine and she would blow everybody out of the water. conservatives can attract interest. just not this one, for whatever reason. the
